What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Treatment of all employees fairly and without bias of gender or race.
Knowledge and respect in the workplace
Follow their own policy's manager and crew member .
Go back to the basics---Guest-Employee--Investor priorites folks--Quality-Value- & Service-- nobody remembers those days--employes begged for shifts-wow, those were the days!!
The GM needs to learn to support his team members and value them. The GM also needs to follow through on things he says he will. He needs to support his team instead of tearing them apart.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Experience does not equal fair pay.
Lower prices for benefits and more options
Higher rates and full health benefits.
Yes all the time..specially by manager.
If you worked the number of hours it to complete all assigned tasks successfully, we were looking at 70 hour weeks, not to mention the close-off-open-mid- off-open-close--vindictive GM
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There is no trainings in the kitchen which make for an uncomfortable shift when the chef does feel it's an issue.
Nothing we keep the business going.
Work together as a team
Team work, compatibility, side work, standards, respect
Communication skills and willingness to help others.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
In my restaurant, favorites are clear.
The GM needs a better attitude. Needs to stop harassing employees and bullying them.
Better management. Management that are there to have a good sales shift.
Start doing right by everyone that works here not select other like I said run server sales and see how only select few kept a full section
Treat people like people and pay them fairly
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
To be honest about how stations are manned and how cross utilization starts.
Couldnt say, have no idea.
N ok this takes too long iit said 6 p seconds the lies
I would change nothing at all
Have managers that are doing the interview be genuine and not fake
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Go back to being a "fish house"--maybe not all the way back to the nautical uniforms, but i tell you, not happier crew (or guests)
Hiring standards, firing standards, pay
No one really cares, people just show up and do the absolute bare minimum. They are unsanitary and disgusting.
